Much to my surprise these old Foley food mills are still being made! This beauty is made out of stainless steel. Solid, easy to care for and gorgeous. The 2 1/2 quart one I have fits a smaller prep bowl, but I knew that it would when I ordered it. The sweep arm on the bottom comes off for cleaning with an easy twist of the nut that attaches it. The blade inside the food mill is easy to operate and to clean. It runs smoothly over the grate giving you a nicely textured dish. The rotating knob on the handle that turns the blade is a real plus, no blisters. I will admit to using a kitchen towel to hold the handle attached to the food mill because I prefer a solid handle rather than the loop style this food mill has. This is the kind of appliance our grandmothers and mothers used and we all remember their great potato soup. When you get back to basics, you want something easy to use, good looking and easy to clean AND that stores in a cupboard rather than its own garage. So, start with a Foley Food Mill.

I was raised with a foley food mill in the kitchen. Mom bought me one when I first started housekeeping, as I did my daughter and Son also. The old ones rusted up, but I see now they are made of stainless steel, which is great.I never put mine in a dishwasher, but my daughter did without thinking, therefore it got rusty. I ordered two, as they are hard to find, a little on the expensive side, but Amazon gave the best price. The new models are dishwater safe, and will never rust as they are made of stainless steel. Great product, Iwouldn't be able to make cranberry sauce, applesauce, seed tomatoes, canning etc., without it!Best Deals for Mirro 50024 Foley 2-Quart Stainless Steel Food Mill Cookware, Silver
I bought this food mill because it's the same design as the food mill my grandmother has had for decades. I've been using it the past few weeks to make tomato gazpacho. This food mill is more than up to the task.The stainless steel surface is easy to keep clean, and it disassembles for even easier cleaning. As a nice touch, the diameter of the scraper wire on the bottom of the mill is just a fraction smaller than the grill holes, which means that if you have seeds lodged in any of the holes after cleaning, you can use the scraper wire to knock them out.
The only reason why I'm giving it 4 stars instead of 5 is because the double-loop handle can be uncomfortable to hold after a while. (I can understand why they used the double-loop design--because it stays cooler if you're milling over a heated pot--but I think I would've preferred having a more comfortable handle and using a potholder if necessary.)
Honest reviews on Mirro 50024 Foley 2-Quart Stainless Steel Food Mill Cookware, Silver
I replaced my original 35 year old Foley Mill with the new model. On the plus side, it is greatly improved by the fact it is now made in stainless stain. On the minus side, the handle is no longer solid but rather an "open" handle and I find it now difficult to hold. If the new handle would not be a problem for anyone else, than I would give it 5 stars.Find helpful customer reviews and review ratings for Mirro 50024 Foley 2-Quart Stainless Steel Food Mill Cookware, Silver
This is my first food mill.I bought the 2 qt model, thinking the 4qt model
was too big. I like the solid construction and
attractive appearance. The mill works pretty well.
I've made applesauce and "squeezed" pomegranate
juice. The 2 qt size is fine for those two uses.
I could see how the 4 qt model is more appropriate
if you do heavy duty amounts, such as for canning.
I knew in advance that the wire handle is not
ideal. I would agree that it is a bit uncomfortable.
Since you are holding it for maybe 5 minutes, it's
only a minor annoyance.
The one surprise I had was...on the 4 qt model,
and on competing models, the grates are removable
and interchangeable. For the 2 qt model, the
grate is built in and can't be removed. This
makes it harder to clean. I suspect this also
limits the uses for the 2 qt model, although for
my uses this hasn't affected me. If I had realized
that the grate was non-changeable, I probably
would have bought the 4 qt model, just to have
a more versatile food mill.
Overall, it's a solid product that is good for
light to medium duty, or small to medium amounts.
